The Daily Show with Jon Stewart happens to be one of my favorite shows to watch on TV. Though it’s supposed to be a "fake" news show. But ironically, it’s seems to be the real news. When I watch, it seems to be pretty much more accurate than the mainstream news media. He’s pretty much blunt and on the point when it comes to the various big issues in the news today.
There’s pretty much biased on the parts of CNN, MSNBC, and most definitely Fox News. Some tend to be very left-wing and Fox News tends to be extremely right-winged. And Jon Stewart seems to be the most balanced news announcer out there. He’s pretty much down the center and doesn’t show any favoritism towards the left nor the right. Never thought that a news show that’s supposed to mock people is more accurate than the other news shows.
I had taken a journalism class around spring of ’04 and we talked about the media. We brought up the subject on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. My professor said that news show tends to be far more real and accurate than what we watch on the main news channels. It’s like BBC News but with humor/ BBC News tends to say it as it is. It’s just a news channel without any of those other news shows that have plenty of hype and spin.
In this country, Daily Show tends to be the best alternative to the news channels that we have. I guess this is why Jon Stewart has so many supporters. Jon Stewart even went up against Bill O’Reilly and won. He was also on one episode of Crossfire before it went off the air. Stewart was on the left side but he showed that he was in the middle. I have to admit, he’s very good at making fun of people.
Because of Jon Stewart, when I see all these politicians on TV, I just want to laugh. I loved how he made a lot of fun of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld. I very much enjoyed his segments before the ’04 electioncs called "Indecision ’04." Stewart makes more sense than any other politician. And Stewart isn’t a politician at all, he’s a comedian.
But his commentaries on politicians and issues aside from making us laugh make us stop and thing. I have to give this show a definite 10/10. Though it’s supposed to be a "fake" news show but it seems that it’s far more "real" than the real news.
